Honoring Developmental Disabilities Awareness Month

In honor of Developmental Disabilities Awareness Month this March, HREEO would like to take a moment to raise awareness about the importance of accessibility and inclusion for individuals with developmental disabilities.

Accessibility within Saint Paul plays a key role in ensuring that our community is welcoming, accessible, and supportive for everyone, regardless of ability. We work to create opportunities for individuals with developmental disabilities to fully participate in all aspects of life in Saint Paul—from access to public spaces, employment, and ensuring that city services are available to all.

We are committed to promoting an environment where everyone can live, work, and thrive in an inclusive community. Thank you for your continued support in making Saint Paul a more inclusive place for everyone.

Supporting Accessibility: The Role of MACPD in Saint Paul

The Mayor's Advisory Committee for People with Disabilities (MACPD) advises and provides recommendations to the Mayor, City Council, and City departments on a range of issues impacting people with disabilities, from accessibility improvements to policy changes that ensure equal opportunities for all.

If you are passionate about creating a more accessible community or want to learn more about how to get involved, we encourage you to connect with MACPD and stay informed about their ongoing efforts to improve the lives of people with disabilities in our city. Together, we can continue working toward a more equitable Saint Paul for all.

Celebrating Employee Appreciation Day

Employee Appreciation Day. First Friday in March.

On March 7, 2025, in honor of Employee Appreciation Day, the Human Rights & Equal Economic Opportunity Office of the City of Saint Paul would like to take a moment to highlight the essential services HREEO provides to the community.

In Saint Paul, our office works diligently to uphold the rights of all employees and to be a resource for employers about the Minimum Wage, Earned Sick and Safe Time (ESST), and Wage Theft ordinances. We stand with you to ensure that labor rights are respected and upheld.

We also want to spotlight our Human Rights Investigations Division which plays a vital role in our community. This division is responsible for investigating complaints of discrimination that are alleged to have taken place within the geographic boundaries of Saint Paul. As a neutral, fact-finding agency, the Human Rights Investigations Division does not represent either party in an investigation but ensures that all complaints are thoroughly investigated to determine whether discrimination has occurred, and to seek resolutions that support fairness and accountability.
